Sorry Lee,  you'll have to sell the car and find something 
else to run......no wait!  I kinda like seeing you in CS!  :-)

IMO, this would definitely fall in the weenie protest arena, 
but the rulebook reads:  

        13........"Parts available as replacements through the 
        dealers parts department, the factory, or any other source 
        which do not meet standard part specs are not legal in 
        Stock........." 

I think you'll need supplementary  factory documentation like 
a Technical Service Bulletin, or dispensation from Howard.
